Why The Local Church Should Start At Home

When it comes to orphans the local church needs to start at home. Unfortunately this is something that many people in the church are unaware of.

My child has two parents. I love my husband, we go to church, we live in a good neighborhood. We look for proof of tomorrow. But honestly, we don't know what tomorrow holds.

I don't have to spell right or even finish my sentences, because God already knows what I'm going to say. I wasn't particularly receptive when God started impressing it on me to share my inner thoughts and life with the world. People can be judgemental and down right mean. I feel pressure to perform to be better than I am.
